Oxford University Press in the United Kingdom will publish a five-volume series about Anglicanism, an undertaking that has been described as “an unprecedented international project in religious history.”
The project will be led by Murdoch University in Perth, which has a reputation for being one of Australia’s leading research institutions.
It marks the first time in its five centuries of publishing that Oxford University Press””a department of the University of Oxford””has agreed to support “such an extensive history of one Christian denomination,” said series editor Rowan Strong in a press statement issued by Murdoch University and published by the Anglican Communion News Service.
